N/A
Verse 1
D

As Ella May took the stand,

you see, she was accusing

Reverend Joe Henry

of being a no -good preaching man.

Yes, she was.

He said, the Reverend Pope

took my lovely body.

The preacher says she lied.

The judge said, now listen,

I'm going to do the talking

and this court's going to justify it.

Yes, they will.

Now, the prosecutor

kind of started pacing the floor.

He was sweating and

making threats.

Judge's wife's sittin'

back in the back room,

he's saying, Hey, honey, I'll jack!

Reverend Joe Henry is a good man,

preached all over the bottom land,

Spoke so a could understand,

And there ought to be a whole lot more
G

good folks like Joe Henry, yeah,
D

Preaching in the bottom land, yeah.

Judge said, Shut up, Sally!

Well, defense stated his case,

but the defense walked to the jury box

with a stern look on his face.

One by one he pointed to the juries

and said,

The Reverend picked cotton by your side.

He blessed your children

when they was born

and he cried when your mama died.

Yes, he did. Oh.

And he turned his back on the jury

and his face was getting red.

And he pounded his fist

and he shook the room

and he whirled around and he said,

Now looky here,

Reverend Joe Henry is a good man

Preached all over the bottom land

Spoke so a could understand

And there ought to be a whole lot more
G

good folks like Joe Henry

Preaching in the bottom land,
D

yeah

Somebody cussed and said,

hang him, he's guilty

And the judge said, now you listen here

One more outburst of emotion like that

I'll have the whole courtroom cleared,

yes I'll be o 'er

And the foreman addressed the court

and said

I've known the reverend all of his life

Why, he got shot up so bad

back during the war

That he couldn't even take himself a wife

You all know what I'm talkin' about,

don't you? Now,

I swore I never would tell a soul

But his life's layin' on the line

There ain't no way on

God's green earth

That the reverend could

have done this crime

Come, Reverend Joe Henry is a good man

He preached all over the bottom land

Spoke so child could understand

And there ought to be a whole lot more
G

good folks like Joe Henry
D

Preaching in the bottom land
G

Well, a willow may faint
D

it like a folded sheet

I'm just as good for bailin'
D

  • Best Tuning App Ever

    MaddProfessor

    I've downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

  • Well-Designed App

    Rose the Black Cat

    I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

  • Got me back into playing

    Tuliketsune

    I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

  • Secret weapon

    Brad

    Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

  • Very reliable tuner

    theNewPaul

    This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!

  • This is the best guitar tuner ever.

    Caleb Schafli

    It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.

  • Great to tune and play

    Lynae T

    I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.
